Robin: You can't be serious. You're actually going to testify against your own daughter?
Anna: No -- it's not personal, Robin.
Robin: Well, it sure feels that way.
Anna: Sorry. I love you. I love you more than anything and I am beyond thrilled that you're going to be a mother, and, you know, I'm going to be the mother of somebody about to be a mother and that whole thing.
Robin: Then why are you siding with him?
Anna: Simply put, you couldn't be more wrong about him.
Jason: Carly is not pregnant.
Sonny: She tell you that?
Jason: She didn't have to tell me anything, Sonny. I saw the test. There is no baby.
Sonny: Ok, but according to Carly, you -- you could've been having her baby. I just -- I just want to hear the truth from you. Are you sleeping together?
Jax: Is there a chance that Sonny could be the father of this baby?
Carly: There is no baby.
Jax: But we won't know that for sure until you take a test, right?
Carly: I took a test. I'm not pregnant, Jax. I'm sorry.
Claudia: Don't. Don't do it, John.
Johnny: The bastard threatened to kill you. I'm not going to give him a chance to do it.
Jerry: Pull that trigger and the whole world will know that your sister was responsible for little Michael Corinthos's shooting.
Anna: I mean, you know, it's natural for you to have freaked out at the thought of an entire family living under one roof because your father and I, we were not good examples of that, obviously.
Robin: First of all, me and the baby moving in with Patrick is absurd.
Patrick: And cramming a baby into a closet isn't?
Anna: He has a point. A closet is no place for a child.
Robin: It isn't a closet. It's a dressing area that's about to become a nursery.
Diane: Well, call it whatever you will, no woman should be forced to store her couture in boxes by the bed.
Anna: You know, I mean, Patrick has all the room in the world.
Robin: Ok, look, I know that you mean well and somehow you've managed to convince yourself that siding with him is actually good for me, but I can assure it isn't. I mean, this whole situation is completely ridiculous.
Patrick: I couldn't agree more.
Diane: Patrick, statements like that do nothing to enhance your position in a court of law.
Elizabeth: Ok, I'm sorry to interrupt, but why involve the courts at all? The last thing either of you want is a long, drawn out custody battle. Take it from somebody who's been there. It's not going to do anybody any good, least of all that baby.
Diane: If Patrick wishes to withdraw petition, all he has to do is ask.
Robin: In the interest of our child, will you let this go?
Patrick: What kind of father would I be if I didn't fight to be a part of my child's life?
Diane: And that settles it. I will notify you when the hearing is calendared. When you retain legal counsel, please have them contact me.
Jax: You were so adamant about not wanting to take a pregnancy test. What made you change your mind?
Carly: Because you were right, you know? If -- if I really were pregnant, I owed it to the baby to start taking care of myself and -- it was just the timing of it all. I wasn't able to focus on what a miracle it would've been, and I'm really sorry.
Jax: No, I'm the one who should apologize. I -- I told everyone before we even knew for sure, so I'm sorry.
Carly: You were excited, you know? You had every right to be. I know how badly you want a baby.
Jax: Yeah, but not at the expense of our marriage. I didn't mean to pressure you into something that you're really not ready for.
Carly: You know, with the negative test, it made me realize how badly I want to have a baby with you. I just need a little bit of time, that's all.
Jason: I haven't slept with Carly since the summer I met her.
Sonny: Why do you keep letting her pull this crap? I mean, it's been what, 12 years since she passed off Michael as yours? Now she's pulling the same thing? Except this time she's not lying to A.J., she's lying to me.
Jason: Carly was afraid that you would want to be in the kid's life. She can't take that chance after what happened to Michael.
Sonny: Come on, you're not -- you can't be defending her.
Jason: Carly panicked. That's what she does. She panics.
Sonny: Ok, what if Carly was pregnant? Would you have gone on with -- with the lie, claiming my kid is yours?
Jason: It -- it doesn't matter. There is no kid.
Sonny: I got out of the organization to actually do the right thing -- keep my kids safe, t away from the violence. Carly has punished me since Michael got shot. And now you probably already know this, on the way from the institute, we had sex. Right after we had sex, she handed me a piece of paper to sign away my kids.
Jason: Sonny, just -- why don't you just quit worrying about Carly and just focus on your marriage to Kate?
Kate: So I've already asked Jen to set aside eight pages in the fall issue for exclusive coverage of the ceremony and all the events leading up to it. I want everything featured, from the place settings to the gown I'm wearing.
Lulu: Oh, speaking of -- I -- I left a message for Maha. She's in Saint Tropez. She won't be able to do fabric selection until next week.
Kate: All right, fine. Have her send over some sketches in the meantime. Federico is already working on designs for the reception gown.
Maxie: I'd be happy to pick up sketches from Federico when he's finished with them.
Kate: Ok, Maxie. We can work out the logistics later. In the meantime, your function is of liaison. It is imperative that you get Maha's people speaking with Federico's. Now, I want the gowns to compliment each other, but I also want the individual style of the designer represented.
Maxie: Of course. I'll call him right now.
Kate: Ok.
Maxie: Federico, hey, it's Maxie. I was just calling to see how those sketches were coming along. No pressure, just my own curiosity.
Lulu: So, um, Sonny's a pretty private guy, at least as long as I've known him. How does he feel about his relationship being plastered all over the pages of a magazine?
Kate: Sonny is not used to, nor will he ever be, comfortable with the level of scrutiny associated with my position. There is a real chance that he may ask me to pull the article all together. In which case, I'm going to need some backups in place.
Lulu: Well, we could move up the piece on warning signs for breast cancer to coincide with national awareness month.
Kate: That's a good start, Lulu, but it won't fill eight pages. Why don't you compile a list of some other ideas that will tie in with the cancer piece. I want to be prepared at a moment's notice to drop it in case Sonny gets cold feet.
Johnny: That's one hell of a bluff.
Jerry: I assure you, I always have a contingency plan and this is no exception. I'll let your sister acquaint you with the details.
Claudia: Ian was working with Jerry. As a matter of fact, Ian wanted Jerry to shoot Sonny in the warehouse.
Jerry: I'm afraid I have to agree. I would never have pulled the trigger if I knew there was a child in the line of fire.
Johnny: So if you didn't trust Ian to take care of the job, why didn't you take Sonny out yourself?
Jerry: I didn't want the hit to be traced back to me, so Ian did the job himself and the rest is, as we know, painful history. Fortunately for all of us, Ian is dead. And as far as the law and Jason Morgan are concerned, the good doctor was acting out alone. But if you kill me, all that will change.
Johnny: What's he got on you?
Claudia: There's an affidavit on file that states I was the one who hired Ian.
Jerry: And if the information comes to light, I have no doubt that Jason Morgan will kill you both. Which brings us to our current dilemma, I mean, if it was me, I would only have one solution -- drop the gun. Keeping me alive keeps you alive.
Jax: I haven't been fair to you.
Carly: Jax.
Jax: No, I wasn't there the first few hours after Michael was shot. Jason was the one you turned to for support. Instead of accepting that, I -- I resented that, in a way.
Carly: I wasn't trying to shut you out.
Jax: Well, however it happened, I just felt like I let you down. I wanted to help you in a way that no one else could. That's why I was pushing for the possibility of you being pregnant. A new life is the greatest gift I could think of.
Carly: I know that I have been distant lately and you're allowed to be angry and -- and frustrated, but you have to know that through it all, I never stopped loving you or needing you or needing you. And what scares me the most is that I am going to be so hurt that I do something that pushes you away.
Jax: Carly, can handle anything you throw at me.
Sonny: Why do you think I'm wrong, after everything that's gone down, to want to marry Kate?
Jason: Sonny, what you and Kate do is your -- it's your business.
Sonny: But why don't you agree is what I'm asking?
Jason: It's not up to me. It's not up to me.
Sonny: Well, that -- it's not up -- that's your stock answer. It's all -- you know, I can read you. So you -- you think that I am wrong to want to be happy when Michael's in -- in coma.
Jason: No, no, I think that -- that what happened to Michael is too big for any of us to live through all at once. It -- it's kind of like being in a car wreck when at first you're in shock. You don't feel the pain. You don't even know if you're bleeding until the adrenaline wears off, and then you have to deal with what just happened.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Jason: That's what -- that's what we're all trying to do right now, is just deal with what happened. Your answer's to quit and get married to Kate. Now, you know what? I'm not saying -- I'm not saying that's wrong. I'm just saying that you need to be honest with yourself about why you're doing this. This is about Michael and it always will be.
Maxie: When you say Sonny could get cold feet, do you mean about having his private life made public or getting married in general?
Kate: If Sonny wasn't committed to spending his life with me, he hardly would have proposed a second time.
Maxie: A second time?
Kate: Yes, Maxie. The first time was the one with cold feet.
Lulu: What changed? I mean, not that it's our business, but it's just, you know, kind of weird that you would run screaming from Sonny one minute and now agree to marry him the next.
Kate: Well, Lulu, it hardly happened that fast, nor in such dramatic fashion.
Maxie: Well, if you don't want to talk about it -
Kate: No, no, actually, I would rather have you hear the truth from me than concoct some story on your own. The truth is at the time, my only reservation was Sonny's line of work. Had he not been a known racketeer, I would've married him on the spot.
Lulu: Oh, so now that Sonny's not in the business, you don't have an excuse?
Kate: No, no, no, I don't, but Sonny does. He's still grieving Michael, and he may not be capable of facing all the trappings of a big wedding. And if that turns out to be the case, then I'll deal with it. And in the meantime, we have a lot of planning to do, so go, get busy.
Ric: Hi. Do you have a minute?
Kate: Uh, sure, Ric. Hold all my calls. So are you here in some sort of official capacity? I'm sure that Trevor isn't too happy that Anthony asked you on as co-counsel.
Ric: No, I'm not here to talk about Trevor and his shortcomings as a father. I'm here out of concern for my brother. Kate, there's a great deal of tension going on between Jason and the Zaccharas right now. I need you to keep Sonny from getting drawn in.
Kate: Ric, I love your brother and I would do just about anything to keep him happy, but I have learned my lesson. I will not manipulate him, even if it's for a worthy cause. Look, that was the way that other women dealt with Sonny and I personally believe that he deserves better, which is why I'm going to stay out of this, Ric. If you need to talk to Sonny, you need to do it on your own.
Jerry: What's more important, killing me or keeping Claudia safe? I thought so. Now, put the gun down.
Claudia: Do it, John. Look, I want him dead just as much as you do. Unfortunately, that's not an option right now. If we leave Jerry alone, he'll do the same.
Jerry: You seem to be forgetting that your father threatened an innocent little child. If any harm comes to her or her mother, I will go to Jason Morgan and tell him all I know about that night little Michael was shot.
Claudia: What do you want?
Jerry: Get your father under control, or I will.
[Gun shot]
Claudia: John, what are you doing?
Johnny: Calling his bluff.
Robin: Hi, thanks for coming.
Alexis: Well, it's not often I get offers to do outside work.
Robin: Well, I'm hoping that you can still take on a private client.
Alexis: It depends on the case and the client. But since the client is you, you know that I would do anything that I can for you.
Robin: Patrick is petitioning for visitation rights with the baby.
Alexis: It's standard practice to want to work up a custody arrangement when the parents are living in different houses.
Robin: When the baby is still in my womb? Please, tell me that this is just a scare tactic on Diane's part and Patrick cannot actually win this case.
Alexis: All right, you should know that Diane is very good. She's a very thorough attorney and I don't think she would file a motion if she didn't think the judge would grant a hearing.
Robin: Am I the only one that thinks that this is crazy? I mean, doesn't this violate my right to privacy?
Alexis: Technically, no, because Diane can argue that you've already had this amount of time to bond with the baby and Patrick is afforded the same amount of time.
Robin: Well, that's ridiculous. Because no matter how much Patrick wants to rub my belly or talk to the baby, he'll never be connected to it the way that I am. And the truth is, he's only doing this because he wants me to move in with him.
Alexis: I'm going to say something to you from one single mother to another. It would be far less complicated if you had a relationship, a decent relationship with the baby's father. Unless, of course, he poses an emotional or physical threat.
Robin: Of course not. Patrick would never hurt the baby.
Alexis: Robin, you would be far better served to make room for Patrick in your life. Otherwise, you would have a lot more to lose than just a few hours a week with your baby.
Elizabeth: I know you're trying to convince Robin that you want to be a good father, but taking her to court? It's only going to make her dig her heels in even deeper.
Patrick: What choice do I have? I've told Robin every way that I can that I want to be a part of our child's life and she doesn't seem to hear it.
Elizabeth: I think you're just going to have to give her time.
Patrick: Elizabeth, my back is against the wall. In a few months, she's going to give birth. Now, if I want to be a part of our kid's childhood, then family court is the only option.
Elizabeth: Spinelli, what are you doing out here all alone?
Spinelli: Oh, um, The Jackal has just undergone a battery of, well, no doubt beneficial, if somewhat disconcerting, tests to measure his optimum health and wellness. And while being returned to the confines of my regrettably plain room, the pleasant pusher was called away. So rather than incurring the wrath of the administrative staff by violating hospital policy and wheeling myself back on my own, The Jackal has decided to remain patiently here and wait for the return of the orderly one.
Elizabeth: I'll take you to your room.
Spinelli: That would be lovely and give The Jackal a chance to explain the true meaning of our previous conversation. See, well, The Jackal is most certain that Vixenella clearly harbors feelings for Stone Cold -
Elizabeth: Spinelli, if say one more word about Jason and Claudia Zacchara, I'll sedate you.
Sonny: You know me, Jason. Don't you think -- don't you think I feel that Michael should be the one with a future? Fall in love, get married? But it's not -- it's not going to happen because of this business, because of me. But don't think for one second that -- that I walked away clean. Not even close. I -- I lost both sons in the process.
Jason: It's the only way Carly knew how to protect Morgan.
Sonny: You can -- you can tell -- you can tell me that all you want, that when she handed me those papers it was because she was doing something that she thought was right. It wasn't. It was about revenge. Carly wanted to punish me. But what I don't understand is how you -- you stood by and let her take away my kids.
Jax: You know, the reason I brought up Sonny possibly being the father of this baby is because he told me that I should get a paternity test.
Carly: Well, who cares what Sonny says? He's out of our lives for good.
Jax: He may have signed away the rights to his boys, but he'll always play on your shared history.
Carly: I don't care. I'm in love with you. You're the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with.
Jax: Come here.
Claudia: John, don't. Put the gun down.
Johnny: I don't want our lives in Jerry's hands.
Jerry: Then you should probably aim that thing somewhere else. It would be a tragedy if you shot your dear sister by accident.
Claudia: John, think about it. The only leverage that Jerry has is that I was involved in Michael's shooting. Now, if you were in his position, would you leave your only life insurance to chance? No. You would have a sworn affidavit. Let him leave. Johnny, if you shoot him, you are killing both of us.
Johnny: Fine. You get to keep breathing for now.
